Thanks, MudDucker... think YouTube is wanting to force actual visits to their site. Second video I've seen act that way in last couple of days. Anyway removed embed so it's just a plain link. Do yourself a favor and give it a watch! It's WELL WORTH it and sure to make a few folks day :-D

Me too, Reel Cowboy, sorta remember it! Can remember as a small boy dialing that zero was a long ride ;-)

As for the video, think my favorite phrase was "non-contributing zero"! :smt005

But I remember the first cell phones. My Dad said they'd never catch on.

You talking about the "bag" cell phones, Reel Cowboy? My ma-in-law still has one stowed away somewhere and swear that thing was about the size of a military SINCGARS radio :-D

Heck yeah. My Dad just got in the last year or so a flip phone. The brain box or whatever it was for the one he had mounted in his truck from 2000 or so. He still doesn't have voice mail or text or e-mail or web just a phone. Most of us my self included) couldn't function like that.
When I bought my first truck I drove across town to buy diesel for $0.90 a gallon instead of $0.93 at the store by the house.

Dem was the good ol days.

A lot of truth ... I remember the first car phone ... it was a radio, not a cell phone. Hell, I remember the first color tv ... it caught on quick with that stupid NBC peacock.
